At the Captain's Table

As we strolled by Captain Tom Franklin's table, Franklin was all in on the button with {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, up against the cutoff's {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. He was already getting ready to leave.

Board: {10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades} ... {a-Clubs}

Franklin sat back down, looking rather cheerful about his new 14,000 stack. "Yeah, write that on PokerNews," sighed his unfortunate opponent, who was left with mere shrapnel.

Cada Doubles

Joe Cada found himself needing some help, all in for 6,525 with {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades} against an opponent's {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

The {8-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} flop was decent for Cada, but he was still behind. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}, giving Cada the lead. He faded the necessary outs as the river brought the {5-Spades}.

Cada is up to about 14,000 after the hand.

Turn of the Tide

We arrived just in time to see an all-in player turn over {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Jon Turner flip a dominating {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. Another plyer at the confessed that he had folded pocket nines.

"You folded two of my nines?" said the all-in player. "Thanks for telling me that, man."

Board: {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Flying Brosolo

We found Yann Brosolo checking the river of a {6-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts} board, a good few chips in the middle of the table. His opponent checked behind, and Brosolo flipped {a-}{10-}. HIs opponent couldn't beat it and mucked, and Brosolo moved up to 40,000.
